Abstract (en)

In a method for fastening the members of a composite panel, particularly of the body of a motor vehicle, the composite panel (10) includes at least a skeleton (12) having at least a cavity (16) and a covering panel (18), which are preliminarily arranged side by side and fastened to each other. A polymeric adhesive of the semi-structural type (20) is interposed between the edge (16a) of each cavity (16) of the skeleton (12) and the inner surface of the covering panel (18). The method comprises the step of subjecting the composite panel (10) to a heating operation localized in a zone corresponding to the edge (16a) of each cavity (16) of the skeleton (12), in order to bring the semi-structural adhesive (20) from a substantially fluid condition of delivery to a viscous and pre-polymerized condition in which it carries out at least a partial coupling action of the respective edge (16a) of the cavity (16) with the covering panel (18).
